  - it was a video of a boy after getting bombed with chlorine gas then the hospital was bombed in Aleppo. - Andie Nov 21, 12:28 3
    - oh yeah I saw that. -- nm - Remlik Nov 21, 12:42
    - yeah, headline text is sufficient for that subject, I think. -- nm - Max Nov 21, 12:30
    - Just check Facebook. I've seen it pop up several times. -- nm - spamlet Nov 21, 12:29
- I just... can't. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 21, 12:25 1
  - i took it down -- nm - Andie Nov 21, 12:25
jurgen klinsmann, you're fired....nm - x Nov 21, 12:14 4
- they just don't understand soccer I guess -- nm - ML Nov 21, 12:19
- also bruce arena is a really, really uninspiring frontrunner as a replacement....nm - x Nov 21, 12:18 2
  - Agreed. -- nm - Krusty Nov 21, 12:33
  - maybe Jeff Fisher can make the jump from the Rams -- nm - Beaker Nov 21, 12:20
So it's nice to see Truman on the Overwatch train also I'm really enjoying Sombra -- nm - eag Nov 21, 12:13 1

- Anyone have stats that ranks our BF drafts based on current performance? I'm not even sure my guys are still alive -- nm - oblique Nov 21, 12:22 3
  - your draft day projection said you would finish 8 and 5 -- nm - crash davis Nov 21, 12:23 2
    - if you hit draft day projections now, they have you at 9 and 4, of course it also has dp3 winning with David in second - crash davis Nov 21, 12:25
    - flip it around and I'll nail the 8 part of 5 and 8 tonight -- nm - oblique Nov 21, 12:24
- I see an issue arising for the players who play in States where marijuana is legal. Forbidding a legal activity? I know their contracts don't allow - jnine Nov 21, 12:16 9
  - But how would that work if they're playing in a state where it's not legal? -- nm - Meg Nov 21, 12:25 2
    - whether a state treats it as legal or not is immaterial, what matters is that the NFL has collectively bargained that it's not for employment purposes -- nm - ML Nov 21, 12:27 1
      - Right, but it was illegal when that contract was entered into. It isn't illegal everywhere anymore. -- nm - jnine Nov 21, 12:33

We can dance if we want to. We can leave Donald Trump behind. Because Donald Trump don't dance, and if he don't dance, then he is no friend of mine -- nm - crash davis Nov 21, 12:06 2
- There are two kinds of people in this world. Those that dance, and those that do not. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 21, 12:09 1
  - I dance like no one is watching. Because people get embarrassed for me and avert their gaze -- nm - crash davis Nov 21, 12:11

- I predict that being a grandmother will make it too easy for her to say no to politics for the next 8 years. -- nm - Max Nov 21, 11:49
- *pats you on the head and leads you gently back to the room with the nice padded walls* -- nm - znufrii Nov 21, 11:45
- I hope she remains in politics, but not as a Presidential candidate. - ReluctantCynic Nov 21, 11:43 6

        I can get behind this, on top of it too. -- nm - jnine Nov 21, 11:57 3
        
        yep. all over that. with some chocolate sauce. -- (edited) - Diva Nov 21, 12:04 2

- I think that's driven in part by the fact that those are the things closest to home that are most at risk. Trump's economic plans have elements that - pmb Nov 21, 12:34
- The NYT ran an opinion essay by Mark Lilla on this topic. It was an interesting read. -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Nov 21, 11:40 7
